Links I Love



There is a definite home-ish theme to my recent favourite online posts - can you tell I'm itching to move out already!? I have definitely not spent the past few weeks browsing ridiculously expensive houses on primelocation in the hope that I win the lottery soon. Yep, I have definitely not been doing that. But if I had been doing that, it's safe to say that this Parisian apartment is my favourite find so far. As well as this absolute dream, I have been loving...

  • This blog post featuring my second favourite dream apartment and basically everything I aspire to have in life. So beautiful.

  • These gorgeous tablescapes making me never want to use a table for eating on again.

  • This other apartment I would happily occupy if the other two weren't available.

  • And this amazing photographer who has made me desperate to get my teeth back into wedding photography this summer!

What have been your favourite posts this week? Send me them to read - especially if they contain beeeeeautifully expensive houses!

BTS #2¦ Utopia Magazine Shoot



A few more behind the scenes pictures from my latest shoot for the upcoming Utopia magazine. You can read more about it in detail here. The second part of this shoot is happening in a few weeks time and I am so excited because the concept is possibly even cooler than this first shoot (...to be honest - I'm really just excited to be able to pig out on chocolate digestives and bananas for 6 hours while spinning around on a wheely chair and photographing every few hours or so, perks of being the photographer and not the make up artist!!). I cannot WAIT to share these pictures soon but at the moment I am on a tight-lipped promise to keep them secret until their official publication. So,you'll have to wait and see!

Mother's day (and Bloom&Wild)



I love my mum. She is the kindest, loveliest, most generous and warm hearted person I know, who always has time to go out for coffee and cake with me, or bring me cups of tea if we're home. Not to mention that this woman can cook. And that's always a plus. I feel genuinely sorry for people that haven't tried her shepherd's pie, and don't even get me started on the heavenly raspberry mousse she whips up when she's feeling kooky. She might drive me slightly mental with her inability to sort the kitchen cupboards out logically (since when did cooking oils and cookie cutters go next to one another on a shelf!?), but I love her more than words can describe and my house wouldn't feel like home without her in it.

So, seeing as it's Mother's day soon and I'm sure loads of people are thinking of treating their mama's, I have juuuuuust the thing. A little while ago, I discovered Bloom & Wild on Twitter. And instantly fell in love. Flowers through your letterbox? What else could you ever want!? I kindly received some in the post yesterday and got so snap happy because they're just so great, so let me guide you through your Mum's new favourite thing....

First of all, they fit through your letterbox. Yep, you 'eard - through ya letterbox so you don't have to hang around waiting for them to arrive. You can pop out, shop out, and they'll be waiting for you on your return. So far, I'm loving it.

The flowers arrive all wrapped up to stop the buds getting damaged on their travels. They're easy to set free and the flowers quickly fall out into shape.

You also get the cutest little card with all available flowers from Bloom&Wild and their names. I learnt something new today (other than how obsessed with roses I am). Not only this, but your flowers come with their very own food. In their very own Bloom&Wild branded sachet. I don't know why I found this so cute, but I did.  So I fed my new roses and popped them into my favourite vase, because they deserved the very best and photographed them. Non stop. I'm refusing to apologize for the amount of pictures in this post.
